Mind Reader
I'm not a mind reader
so then why am I so sure what people think?
swear all these fuckers are against me
bending over backwards to please
only to get thrown away
is it all in my head?
or is there something to this?
guess deep down I know the truth
it is me who is in the wrong
awkward most days
I don't want to talk
but I shouldn't be alone
otherwise my thoughts will eat me alive
I'm not a fortune teller
but I'm afraid my best days are behind me
lost interest in all my hobbies
going though the motions
because quitting isn't an option
still my skin hurts
and my bones are tired
oh how I just want to sleep
then wake up a brand new me
a real go getter
one that won't take shit from anybody
but as it is
I have no fight left
take what you want
not like I have much
I'm not a zombie
yet I walk around soulless
watching as the world burns
the 2nt civil war is fought through Twitter
dump your beer and shop somewhere else
while I'm like aren't there bigger issues?
fuck it
I'm no peace keeper
it's hard keeping up with the latest bitch
cancel this, and woke that
you get a gun, and you get a gun
everyone gets a fucking gun
just let me know when
the last of you fuckers drop

Each stanza got better than the next. I love the steady momentum of the poem.
Good to see you, friend :)

Deep words of thoughts on some folks who just don't get it I was taught that when we remain quite often in response to the negative vibes of others we have to be able to see the full picture of life and who we are really dealing with in real life times 💯👊👍😎💪
